SF 3861 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Medical assistance provide enrollment requirements modification for high-risk providers and certain home and community-based providers

SF 3861 expands Minnesota's requirement for electronic tracking of human services visits to include additional provider types. It adds three new categories to the list of services needing electronic verification: (1) services from providers designated "high-risk" by the commissioner (using Medicare standards), (2) services specifically labeled "high-risk" by the commissioner, and (3) any other services the commissioner designates. This affects home care and community-based service providers delivering these specific services, requiring them to use electronic systems to document service details like time, location, and provider. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes 256B.073 to formalize this expanded scope.
